Re: Thin Honey

I just picked one of the model numbers you listed and Googled it using "rhb-90atc". Close to the top on the results list was a thread from a Beesource member who was having problems. A bit below that was this Alibaba page listing about half a dozen Chinese wholesale vendors offering this exact model number refractometer:http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/rhb-...actometer.html

I have no doubt that item is sold at retail in many different stores/sites, they just change the model number to make it more difficult to identify.

I routinely find our summer honey capped with moisture readings well over 19%. Sometimes I'll find intact capping filled with gas from fermentation. Capping is not the "gold standard" as often stated. Perhaps it is in some regions, but certainly not in the southeast. A quality calibrated refractometer is the best way to know for certain.
